MJPEG field-based encoder

[frubsen]

Is there such thing as a program that can encode to a Field-based MJPEG avi?

Basically I have a playout server that is very picky when it comes to what type of file it plays back. It uses the Digisuite LE card so it only likes files created by that card. I've figured out that it creates Field-based MJPEG files.

I have yet to come across a standalone program that can do this. FFMPEG? some type of avisynth script?

Any ideas?

Avisynth might help you prepare the video for encoding, but it won't do any encoding itself.

Field based MJPEG sounds like interlaced MJPEG.

This may be of help:

I actually looked at that thread before i posted here! Thing is, I can encode interlaced MJPEG using the Matrox VFW codec in say, Vitualdub, but it still won't play on the matrox digisuite le card. I've read something about the difference between the matrox vfw codec and the digisuite card using a directshow codec. Not sure if that makes any sense
